The Academy of Management's Management Education and Development Division
(affiliated with Mg-Ed-Dv) values its strategic alliance with the MCB
University Press JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT, which sponsors the AOM
MED Division's Best paper in Management Development Award. This is an
excellent journal that I have published in and which I strongly urge you to
investigate. Below is very interesting opportunities offered by MCB.

MCB University Press is proud to offer the "Training and Development
Internet Research Register" to subscribers and the research community at
large.
The Training & Development Internet Research Register
(http://www.mcbup.com/research_registers/tdev/sponsors.asp) will report on
current and recently completed research in this field, on an international
level. Research may be linked to an academic course of study or project, be
independent, or organisation-based R&D. The register aims to be
comprehensive in its geographic and subject coverage. It seeks to maintain a
sound balance between theory and practice and entries which report on
applied research are particularly welcome.
It includes, but is not restricted to the following areas:
* employee education,
* vocational education and training,
* economics of training,
* university-industry partnerships,
* training management,
* management education and development,
* career management and international careers.
The Register is co-ordinated by the Centre for Labour Market Studies at
Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, UK, under the guidance of Professor
Thomas Lange.
It provides the research community with pre-publication information and the
potential for further networking, alongside early information on new areas
for application and development in the field. It also allows the researcher
to:
* Identify types of research already under way, e.g. theoretical, applied
research, case study
* Identify areas where further research is needed
* Ensure a new project is not duplicating research already under way
* Identify possible sources of funding for research
* Identify possible research methodologies
* Identify peers for collaborative research projects
* Track the history of research in a subject area
* Establish yourself within the research community
It will also be of use to research supervisors, teachers, consultants and
practitioners
From Professor Lange:
This Research Register is important in many ways. At a time when research
on training and related issues has grown in importance, the market for
relevant research has also become much more complex. While there has been a
growth in the volume and sophistication of relevant research literature,
this has not been matched by a parallel growth in empirical awareness of
information in the market.
Such comprehensive labour market information is vital if researchers,
consultants, government departments, education providers and employers are
to understand fully how labour market processes operate. This understanding
becomes critical when policies and research activities in the areas of
training, education, work and enterprise are being discussed.

As part of its commitment to the dissemination of information, MCB
University Press provide this online forum for the circulation of
pre-publication information on research in elected subject areas. The
registers add value to the information resources MCB already provide which
comprise journals, abstracts of wider literature, online and CD-ROM
databases, online information services for communities of interest, virtual
conferencing, and automation of the peer-review process. All these elements
of the MCB University Press service help to bridge the gap between theory
and practice in research activity and improve the process of scholarly
communication. For information about MCB and our services, please go to
